Commuting/gym read - Anno Dracula by Kim Newman
Bedtime read - Grunts by Mary Gentle Further reading - Motel Of The Mysteries by David Macaulay and currently collecting Dial H For Hero (China Mieville's comic-writing debut), Saucer Country, and Saga. Plus a shitton of graphic novels. But all of these things take half an hour to read, so are a little less constant than actual books. |

War is a force that gives us meaning by Chris Hedges.

Do not recommend. Basically articulated things that I already knew.

I *was* reading "The Wolf Gift" but thanks to my public library's effed up system, I've had it for 2 weeks, it is due today, and I am unable to renew it because they consider it a "new release". Being a student with other responsibilities keeping me from being able to read 24/7, I got about three quarters of the way through it. Lovely.

Saya, that really sucks about the Slut Walks meaning getting lost. Communion looks like an interesting book from that excerpt.
I'm currently reading A Feast For Crows by George R.R. Martin. It's the fourth book in the Song of Ice and Fire series. If you're looking for happy endings and fairy tales, choose a different series. |
Kissed by Darkness by Shea MacLeod.
Before that was Sins of the Father by RJ Palmer. Both fellow indie authors. |
All Quiet On The Western Front.

Handmaiden's Tale

Finished All Quiet On The Western Front, and since its a given that I won't be sleeping tonight as a result, finally reading Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde.
At long last. |
I just started Ishmael.

The Lathe Of Heaven by Ursula Le Guin.
|
I'm finishing "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I love these two authors dearly. I have also started reading book 4 of the Rogue Agent series by K. E. Mills (the title of the book evades me at the moment), which seems to continue the series' tried and tested formula of ridiculously funny fantasy, but somewhat brainless entertainment. A perfect book for the first few weeks after a set of utterly exhausting exams, in other words. :)

Siddhartha.

Just read The Parable Of The Sower by Octavia Butler. Its like, what, the third book I read all in one day since my YA years? And one of those was Metamorphosis so it doesn't really count. I feel like it was a bit of a brain overload to read in one day and really depressing, but I'll definitely read her other books.
Got The Left Hand Of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin to start tomorrow. |
Just finished reading Horace Walpole's Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto (1764). Generally regarded as the first gothic novel. A mixture of comedy and tragedy. If you have previously been put off reading 'classic' literature composed of antiquated language, then fear not, despite being written such a long time ago the novel is very readable. Further the novel is barely one hundred pages in length.

A Game of Thrones.
And presently, skimming the Avadhut Gita. |
I just started The Damnation Game by Clive Barker. So far I really like the way he's set up the story, and I'm curious about how it all pans out.

As for what I am reading: Sandman. (I'm reading spooky comic books...Can I be one of the cool kids now? :p) I find Death adorable and I want to be just like her when I grow up. |
I just got finished reading Lonely Werewolf Girl by Martin Millar for the second time. Too funny!
I'm waiting on a bunch of books to get delivered to me, so I read the interwebs until then! Or maybe give Divergent by Veronica Roth yet another read... :) |
Racism Without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in the United States by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva.
